I'm struggling with this persistent cough that's just not going away. I tried using amlox, levofloxacin, loratidine, and even some home remedies, but it keeps coming back after a few days. It's getting really frustrating. Can you suggest what might be going on or what I should try next?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with this right side pleural effusion for the past two months. We got him a CT scan and thankfully there's no sign of anything serious like cancer or TB. The doctors are thinking it's likely an infection. My dad's 68 and has a heart EF of 25. The blood pleural taping results came back normal too. Do you think a biopsy is necessary for him, and is it safe given his heart condition?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I've never had any medical issues before, but for the last month or so, I've been getting out of breath really easily, even just walking a short distance or talking a lot. I used to be really active, going to the gym and doing cardio and weight training regularly until the end of last year. I'm curious if there's something going on with my health and what kind of remedies I should consider. Any thoughts on what might be causing this sudden breathlessness?

Hey doctor, I've got a few concerns I hope you can help me with. So, I'm a 33-year-old guy weighing 100 kgs, and although I don't have any blood pressure issues, sugar, diabetes, or other conditions, I've been dealing with this COVID-19 thing. Tested positive on May 23 and got admitted on May 25. My CT score was 425 initially and went up to 2040 by June 1, but I was discharged from the hospital on June 7. Lately, I've noticed that my body temperature was 99.6F on both June 21 and 22 at 9 pm, and then it was 99F on June 23. Also, I've been coughing up thick white mucus from my lungs pretty frequently. I'm worriedis this a sign that the virus might still be spreading in my system? Would really appreciate any guidance you can give.
